no offense meant btw.
in response to "If there is no afterlife, does that make this life less meaningful? Why or why not?"

atheists seem to live normally even without expecting an afterlife, but christians need something so that they can do good? cant they do better with a therapist? although i think a therapist is more expensive "in the short run"... not to mention most christians i know are poor and/or sick(or has a sick relative) and/or old and mosly female, is there a pattern there?

the question was meant for people who converted to christianity. people born in christian families are not included, unless they speak in behalf of their family's history.

of course i know that some of you do good because your life has been changed after knowing jesus but what was your life story?

thanks for dropping by.

Darwin or the Creation Theory?

One is half right and the other is half wrong. As best as I can tell Man was here before the Ape and the Ape is evolving from Man.

You need proof? Look at some of your neighbors, politicians and religious leaders and then tell me the Regression Theory isn’t just as valid. You tell me many people don't act like animals than some animals do!

(Don't wet your pants here answering this. It's just light-hearted satire!)

All scientific theories are subject to revision through the gathering of evidence. If Intelligent Design is inserted into science, it requires that science have the capacity of proving it right or wrong. How is this to be accomplished?

when i read the bible on the issue of drinking alcohol the bible says it is not a sin to drink (see 1 timothy 3:8) it says the elders are not to drink too much or get drunk, and the orginal greek word is onios not grape juice too, why is it that most christians dont drink when the bible says its ok to drink?

i can understand that maybe christians decide not to drink because maybe they want to avoid certain things to become more holier in God, then why not avoid sex then, or eating fast food, or drinking coffee or sugar? it seem to me that you guys are treated to preach an agenda, or try to teach a personal religion to me, the bible mostly teaches about Jesus and what he did on the cross, and Grace as well, i dont how churches like to interpret things and force other people to follow it because thats their opinion, but it seem to me that churches like to force their views on other by fear and not by Love or grace.

The moon's light was reflecting in the shape of cross. Please if you are going to say that I should look into Christianity then do not answer because I like my religion but I have a new found love for Jesus. I can love Jesus by being Muslim because it does not interfere with my religion. My question is there is a certain date of moon that it reflects a cross. Have you ever seen it.

be used in our pledge of allegiance and printed on our currency?


I believe and feel that our allegiance is to God and that we are not one nation under god but a small part of a race under god and that is the human race.

I also believe and feel that having “In God we trust” printed on our currency is a mockery of our faith and beliefs. For it is currency and the love of it that has brought so much hatred, greed and violence to the world that to have "In God we trust" printed on it purely wrong.

However, this is how I feel and I am curious to see what others think and feel on the subject.

why we dont enjoy the bible as a love letter to our hearts is because till we let Jesus the Messiah into our heart-its not personal to us.
the reason is it takes the Spirit of God to know the Spirit of God in the bible=
"The natural person cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God, for they are not spiritual discerned, neither can they know it." Ist Corinthians 2

are you ready for the new birth as told to the Rabbi in John chapter 3-"Except ye repent, and be born again ye cannot see the kingdom of heaven.

as a Jew its a day to fast-and knowing Messiah Jesus and having atonement for my sins-its the most wonderful day as my people go to search for other ways to get sins forgiveness rejecting Moses and the blood atonement fulfilled in Jesus.
The life of the flesh is in the blood and ive given it to make atonement for your souls. Leviticus 17vs11

Abraham thought he had to sacrifice his son-but God said=I will provide myself a sacrifice-and he surely did-read?

should i be upset that i found them or happy that he is using protection. i know what age we are in but i was hoping and keeping hope alive that he would have waited considering he told me that he hadnt had sex yet with his girlfriend of two years. at least he told me it was his and not blame it on his cousins this time. as a mother i worry about him becoming a father or getting a disease. so my question again is should i be upset at the fact that he started having sex so soon, there is really nothing i can do except tell him again the dangers of aids, getting ol girl pregnant and stds, not like i didnt before. true i was young when i had sex, but i was raped first.

their Churches actions, Why is protecting Children none of my business as catholics constantly tell me?

I can't understand how a Catholic can be blind to the obvious evil they are helping to be done

Lets not have any denial or passing the buck please if that is possible for a Catholic, I very much doubt it is

All Catholics are responsible for funding this activity, FACT

Are you serious? Do you really believe that? What exactly makes you think that I am "Satan"
Is it because I can think for myself without a book telling me how to treat people and live my life?
Is it because I refuse to be oppressed by religion?
Tell me. What makes me evil to you?
